Commentary

  • This Earl of Derby was William, who had succeeded to the earldom in the previous year on the decease of his brother Ferdinand, who died under suspicious circumstances. The Earl was already well known as “ that great Sir William Stanley,” “ of whose travels, martial exploits, and bravery abroad, this county (especially) gives us many large accounts as well in story as song, and frequently make themselves merry therewith” (Seacombe’s Memoirs, ed. 1767, p. 65). He was owner of the buildings known as the College (now Chetham’s College), the residence of the Wardens ; and he was a party in some of the ecclesiastical arrangements of the parish.
